Madam Deputy Speaker, let me start by saying that the bulk of the money is, in fact, going to the Western Cape, to municipalities under the DA. [Interjections.]
They have done the planning; they are clear on who must be paid; they are clear who to give support to. This is because when it comes to disaster management, we give money after the fact; after the work has already been done to deal with the issues. We come later. It is something which we believe must be changed and which we are discussing with Treasury.
When these disasters happen, municipalities must be there on the ground to assist. It means then that they will be able to pay people who are owed to ensure that the money goes to them. There is no way that the money cannot be spent, because it has been spent already. Thank you.
